Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. We used data from the Mexican wolf recovery program from 2014‐2021 to evaluate whether diversionary feeding reduced livestock depredations by wolf ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

Analysis of energy consumption of two kinds of edge caching strategies in heterogeneous networks
Dianxin kexue, 2018 The energy consumption of a two-tier heterogeneous network under two different caching strategies was analyzed.Firstly,the energy consumption of each network components was modelled,and the relationship between the energy consumption of heterogeneous ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines Wari obsidian production in a cache of 39 bifaces found at the Late Moche site of San José de Moro (Jequetepeque Valley, North Coast of Peru, 700–850 ad). Portable X‐ray fluorescence, geometric morphometric, and technological analyses were used to investigate raw material provenance and bifacial production.

Canadian Public Administration, EarlyView.Sommaire À première vue, l'évaluation de la performance s'accommode difficilement avec les principes de fonctionnement des institutions investies d'une fonction juridictionnelle. C'est pourquoi une littérature émergente, mais fragmentée, s'intéresse à son adoption dans les tribunaux administratifs.

Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...

Image‐Based Spatio‐Temporal Interpolation for Split Rendering
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Low‐powered devices – such as small form factor head‐mounted displays (HMDs) – struggle to deliver a smooth and high‐quality viewing experience, due to their limited power and rendering capabilities. Cloud rendering attempts to solve the quality issue, but leads to prohibitive latency and bandwidth requirements, hindering use with HMDs over ...

Encoding Occupancy in Memory Location for Efficient and Compact High‐Resolution Voxel Structures
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We encode information about geometric structure into the pointers of a sparse voxel directed acyclic graph (SVDAG). Each pointer carries information about the structure of the node it points to. Our encoding improves ray tracing performance and reduces model size in memory.
